I had the opportunity to photograph Samba Fogo in the 2012 Samba Queen Competition. Samba Fogo Music and Dance Company is a professional 17-member company who perform in many events from outdoor festivals to professional competitions. Samba Fogo performs in many different aspects of entertainment and dance including Afro-Brazilian and contemporary dance, live music, capoeira, and fire dance. The competition for this year's Samba Queen will be held on February 2nd. More details can be found here.
Sandy Hancock is a good friend of mine dating back from years ago when I still had time to go to the gym every day. She has been involved in and excelled at fitness and bodybuilding ... to the extent that she won the Overall 2000 Utah Cup in Bodybuilding.
Now-a-days, besides keeping herself fit, she also instructs others on proper nutrition, training and posing for fitness competitions.
I've been helping Sandy with business cards and other photographic needs for several years. She has a fun personality and is highly dedicated to what she does. Find out more about Sandy and her programs online at Body by Sandy.
